Grants Management Line of Business initiative is a government-wide effort begun in the spring of 2004 that seeks to develop a government-wide solution to support end-to-end grants management activities that promote citizen access, customer service, and agency financial and technical stewardship. The Line of Business objectives, which cover the life cycle of grants and cooperative agreements, include improved customer access to grant opportunities; increased efficiency of the application submission process; improved decision making; and improved efficiency of the reporting procedures in order to increase the usable information content.
